    This is a great example of “whataboutism,” a popular rhetorical tactic going back to the USSR. More about that here: https://www.npr.org/2017/03/17/520435073/trump-embraces-one-of-russias-favorite-propaganda-tactics-whataboutism … https://twitter.com/AymanM/status/1499503023122534402 …

        It’s not “remembering history.” It’s deceptively shifting the debate from one issue (whether the war in Ukraine is wrong) to a completely different set of issues (whether the invasion of Iraq was wrong or the US is a hypocrite) without acknowledging it.

        It’s bs if you MUST bring it up EVERY TIME you talk about Russia…it’s irrelevant…we all know that Iraq, and how we got in, were major & immoral mistakes…but if you can’t just unequivocally denounce this Russia invasion without bringing it up, that’s YOUR problem not ours.

        It’s more like false equivalence because as shoddy as the pretext for that war was most people were willing to go along with it based on Hussein’s barbarism
